Rboxlo is a free and open-source Roblox private server that can be used to relive childhood memories and create new ones. Using Rboxlo, you can set-up your own Roblox private server in minutes with the ability to play Roblox clients dating all the way back to 2007, and as modern as 2017. Rboxlo was created to truly decentralize Roblox, and to eventually eclipse the proprietary closed source Roblox revivals that exist today.
NOTE: Rboxlo hasn't had an official release yet, meaning that everything here is still in a "pre-release" stage. However, you can check the current status here!
Fully open-source and decentralized
There is no official "Rboxlo hub" or any network where Rboxlo instances connect to and meet up. What you do on your Rboxlo instance remains private forever on your instance. The entirety of Rboxlo's source code is available here, and is released into the public domain, making it so that nobody can claim individual copyright over any part of Rboxlo.
Multiple client version support
Rboxlo supports Roblox clients as old as 2007 to Roblox clients as modern as 2017. No matter what Roblox game executable you have, it will work on Rboxlo. Rboxlo also implements all Roblox API endpoints, past or present, to ensure 100% stability with former Roblox clients and (hopefully) older applications designed to work with older APIs.
Easy to set-up
Setting up Rboxlo is a process that is very quick. You do not need to be a proficient sysadmin to figure out how to get the ball rolling.
Modern-day codebase, secure
Rboxlo does not use archaic technology, and is built using modern-day containerization. Rboxlo also tries to use only the best security practices wherever possible.
Customizability
Make Rboxlo yours by customizing every single aspect of the platform. Whether it be the sites theme, the logos, the artwork, or even the color of something as small as the login button, everything is customizable from a single web panel.
Tech stack:
- Node.js powers the server and everything surrounding it (REST API, matchmaker, etc.)
- MariaDB powers the server's database, where all permanent data is stored
- Docker containerizes the server and runs it all in a secure fashion
- .NET is what the client applications are built on for smooth execution
Requirements:
- Docker 20.10.0+
- Visual Studio 2019+
The requirements are very short and sweet because Docker is used to run the entire server, and Visual Studio is used to build the client applications. Detailed instructions on how to deploy Rboxlo are available in GUIDE.MD.
